Technostress, a term systematised by Larry Rosen, describes the cognitive, emotional, and physiological strain produced by technology overload, complexity, insecurity, and the blurring of work-life boundaries by always-on devices. It is a real and measurable phenomenon with physiological correlates; the most evidence-supported interventions involve boundary-setting, recovery breaks, and reducing the perceived demand to be continuously available.
- Conservation Of Resources Theory Under Stress
Stevan Hobfoll’s conservation of resources (COR) theory holds that stress occurs when valued resources are threatened, lost, or fail to return after investment. The theory predicts that people with more resources are more resilient and that resource loss is disproportionately more powerful than resource gain — which explains why the same stressor hits harder when you’re already depleted. Building, protecting, and strategically deploying resources is the practical application.
